Gino Tubaro is in his early 20s, and already boasts a long list of inventions. Amongst them, a device capable of recognizing the letters within written text and translating them into braille in real time stands outAt the age of 13, he received an award from the World Intellectual Property Organization for developing a security device for electrical outlets that detects whether an object is an electrical gadget or a person“s fingers, and in the case of the latter, it will interrupt the electrical current to avoid electrocution.In 2013, he began to explore the possibilities of 3D printing techniques in order to manufacture artificial hand prostheses at low cost. He founded #manoxmano (hand over hand in Spanish) that manufactures several prostheses free of charge for disabled people. Committed to taking this initiative further, Tubaro launched the LIMBS project through his innovation platform AtomicLab.
